The Carroll County Comet will host a public debate between contested seats for the Delphi Community School Board in the Nov. 6 General Election. The event will be Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the High School Commons.

Invited are candidates for the District 1 seat, Steven Myer and Gregory Terry. Candidates in the District 3 race include Jenna Fassnacht and Kirk Schwarzkopf and in the District 7 race, candidates are Benjamin Gleason and Michael Priest.

Debaters will be allowed up to three minutes to introduce themselves and another two minutes to summarize their platforms at the end. Community members will be encouraged to ask questions. Candidates will have ample time to provide the answers and will also be given time for rebuttals to their opponent’s answers.

The Comet will also develop questions for the candidates. Community members who will not be able to attend or who have questions but do not want to pose them are encouraged to send their questions to Debbie Lowe, Staff writer, at dlowe99919@gmail or dlowe@carrollcountycomet.com. Questions can also be sent to the Comet editor at editor@carrollcountycomet.com.
